I won’t hurt your mother
I won’t hurt your brother
I won’t hurt another
I won’t feel at all
I won’t hurt your mother
No don’t hurt your brother
I’ll find other ways to
Know it’s all alright
Oh
I won’t hurt your sister
I cannot resist her
Oh I got a way to go
Before I leave
I won’t tell her anything
That won’t be necessary
I would like to
Buy you a gold canary
Oh
Gold, gold, gold canary
Slip away, so break it to you softly
Will you lay a curse to my name?
Fly away, fly today
As my hands work on the birdcage
You disappear into the air
Fly away, fly today
Slip away, so break it to you softly
Will you lay a curse to my name?
Fly away, fly today
As my hands work on the birdcage
You disappear into the air
Fly away, fly today
Gold canary, gold canary
Gold canary, gold canary
Gold canary, gold canary
Gold canary, gold canary
Oh
Gold canary
I won’t hurt your brother
I won’t hurt another
I won’t feel at all
I won’t hurt your mother
No don’t hurt your brother
I’ll find other ways to
Know it’s all alright
Oh
I won’t hurt your sister
I cannot resist her
Oh I got a way to go
Before I leave
I won’t tell her anything
That won’t be necessary
I would like to
Buy you a gold canary
Oh
Gold, gold, gold canary
Slip away, so break it to you softly
Will you lay a curse to my name?
Fly away, fly today
As my hands work on the birdcage
You disappear into the air
Fly away, fly today
Slip away, so break it to you softly
Will you lay a curse to my name?
Fly away, fly today
As my hands work on the birdcage
You disappear into the air
Fly away, fly today
Gold canary, gold canary
Gold canary, gold canary
Gold canary, gold canary
Gold canary, gold canary
Oh
Gold canary

And it would be better if she were to slip away and leave, to avoid anything drastic.
I think he just wants to try and let go and doesn't want to feel like she hates him for that.
maybe talkshowghos (cool name btw) it could be. like the second verse "I won�t hurt your sister, I cannot resist her" hes talking to the brother mentioned in the first verse. its a difficult song to decipher. now its stuck in my head again.
I think it might be about taking someone's virginity. Or at least have an intimate experience with someone who has never had one before. And this frees them.
And the first verse is sort of explaining the person's good intentions.
